Vision
Yoga for the People (YFP) is a movement fostering wellness for all communities. Through quality and accessible yoga programming and training, we hope people will take charge of their bodies, minds, feelings, choices and communities.
Mission
Our mission is to create yoga programs for people of all ages, cultures, physical abilities and financial situations, while also building a network of support for yoga teachers.
Model
- At each agency, we develop yoga programs tailored for each community factoring in age, health and culture. Concurrently, we cultivate leaders who are interested in continuing yoga in their community beyond our initial involvement and who can provide either ongoing mentorship and/or financial support.
- For yoga teachers, we provide an apprenticeship program, workshops, ongoing mentoring and training opportunities to improve their ability to guide yoga programs for low-income, high-risk populations.
By focusing on cooperative efforts, Yoga for the People encourages all communities to work together more effectively toward health, wellness and personal empowerment. |
